Single: ‘Song for Everyone’

Released on
Itunes Now to Raise Money and Awareness for the For
Everyone Charitable Foundation

FOR EVERYONE
CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, headed by rugby starts ALI WILLIAMS,
DAN CARTER and RICHIE MCCAW are proud to partner with SONY
MUSIC and a team of New Zealand artists including STAN
WALKER, JACKIE THOMAS, MOORHOUSE, ANNIE CRUMMER, CLARA VAN
WEL, BOH RUNGA to name a few to release the charity single
‘A SONG FOR EVERYONE’ available on iTunes now and
available at The Warehouse and JB HiFi stores nationally
from Wednesday.

This team of incredible New
Zealanders have united in song to raise money and awareness
for the FOR EVERYONE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
a charity established in 2009 by Ali Williams, Dan Carter
and Richie McCaw to help New Zealand communities by
providing the resources necessary to get the job done.

The trio frequently travelled around New Zealand with
their odd-shaped ball and saw that many communities were
struggling to raise funds for relatively small projects –
like fixing a playground or changing shed, resurfacing a
school pool or BMX track or simply adding hoops to the
basketball court – which would make a huge difference to
its members, encourage active participation and raise
community spirit. Often it’s the little things that are
most important; so the guys decided to keep it simple.

Richie, the Foundation’s Chairman, says of this
project, “we got some of our best artists and leaders in
their chosen field on board with the Foundation through
‘Song For Everyone’. Thank you to all those who gave the
project their resource, time and talent, for free. What an
awesome team!”

Writer and co-producer of ‘Song
For Everyone’ Vince Harder says of the team effort;
“Song For Everyone became a reality because of the love
and generosity of all involved!”

Ali Williams
adds, “The For Everyone Charitable Foundation is all about
Kiwis helping their fellow Kiwis. 100% of the profits from
each track downloads is going to the Foundation, so that we
can give out more grants and resources across New Zealand.
That Kiwi connection is exactly what Song For Everyone will
achieve. I’m really grateful to everyone involved”.

In summary, Dan Carter adds, “we’ve given out more
than 80 grants so far, which we are proud of. Song For
Everyone will mean everyone in New Zealand has a chance to
be part of what we are doing, by supporting it. Vince and
the team have created something that we find inspiring –
for all New Zealanders, all ages, for everyone.”

Frontier Touring has today announced that the Foo Fighters will play a last minute intimate and exclusive benefit show at the Auckland Town Hall this Friday February 20 with all profits going to The New Zealand Music Foundation. More>>
